TOUCHING! 'Police Detained Me For 8 Days Because My Husband Criticised Lai Mohammed'- Journalist's Wife
May 26, 2020
Dorcas Jolayemi, wife of the broadcaster detained for criticising Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says the police kept her in custody for eight days.
Rotimi Jolayemi, her husband, had recorded an eight-minute audio critical of the minister and released it via WhatsApp. After spending weeks in detention, the police charged him with “causing annoyance” and “insult” to the minister.
In an interview with The PUNCH, Dorcas said the police played a recording of a phone conversation she had with her husband where she asked him to flee.
Jolayemi’s wife said she asked her husband to flee because she wanted him to be safe, and that the head of the police division called her a “stupid woman” because of that.
She said the police told her that it was the minister that ordered her husband’s arrest.
“They said they wanted to arrest my husband and he fled to Maro in Kwara State. They said I was the one who advised him to run away and switch off his phone. They played a recording of my phone conversation with my husband,” she said.
